Nice hotel, but don't expect to get any sleep.

Arrive is a cute, boutique style hotel with nice amenities, comfortable bed and linens; however, the noise level was very high with loud ppl in the courtyard late into the evening and elements of the city activities. I was not able to get any sleep in the 2 days that I stayed.

We enjoyed the beautiful courtyard with firepits and the gazebo bar. Our ground floor room was comfortable and nicely decorated. We had issues with getting cold water from the sink faucet and it was a bit noisy as you could hear guests walking above us. I would recommend staying on the higher floor if you can do the stairs. The location could not have been better.

Really nice unique hotel. The grounds are pretty and there are so many spots for small groups to sit and have a drink. Fire pits scattered all over. Would be so fun with a group of friends. Attached restaurant had a delicious breakfast. We were sorry we didn’t eat dinner there too. Will come back with friends hopefully.

A great place with a great location in the historic district. An easy walk to the Riverwalk as well as to many downtown restaurants and shops. Room was somewhat small but very clean and very well appointed.

Wondeful, chic hotel in Wilmington

This was the cutest little hotel. Wonderful location in Wilmington, NC and it is easily walkable to downtown/riverfront area. The room was gorgeous and very comfortable. The best part was being able to sit in the rocking chairs on the porch or down in the common area outside to enjoy their fire pits. The bar tender was very friendly and made great drinks. The hotel staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming. If we could stay here longer, we would have. Would definitely stay here again.
